Progress lowering spring pics?or spring that kills wheel gap

Post by rmc03 » Mon Nov 13, 2006 3:23 pm

Hey guys, it'd be a HUGE help if anyone could post some pics of a drop with the progress springs. I was reading in another post that the progress springs pretty much eliminate the wheel gap and thats exactly what I'd like. Maybe about 1/4" gap each wheel would be perfect.

If anyone has some different spring set-ups that eliminate that wheel gap, please post them. I really appreciate the help guys, awesome job so far! - Ryan

Mopar lowering springs. (Near impossible to find anymore FYI)

They've settled since that picture, and now have about a one, maybe two, finger gap in the rear.

that picture actually makes me miss my razzi front.

the hood lined up so well with that thing... now i've got the damn gap with my SRT...

oh, sorry Ryan... back on topic...



Usually you can only find Mopar lowering springs used. That's how I got mine. They have a near-OEM ride quality, with one HELL of a drop.

Thanks man, looks great! another option for me is to buy another set of ebay springs with a 2" drop, to drop the front end down more on mine, then raise the rear a touch to match up with the front. here is what i'm aiming for:
